An innovation sprint on Basel's climate goal. 36 hours at the FHNW Campus Dreispitz in Basel, around 200 builders, real green tech cases turned into working solutions.
Basel-Stadt has voted for net zero by 2037. Getting there takes working prototypes, not only pledges. The sprint runs during the Global Entrepreneurship Week Basel.
You arrive Friday evening, meet your team, pick a case, and build until Sunday. Mentors and experts are on site through the weekend. On Sunday you demo what you built in front of a jury.
Who it is for: developers, designers, engineers, product people, data scientists, researchers, and domain experts in energy, buildings, mobility, food and the circular economy. You do not need to be a coder and you do not need a team. Matchmaking runs before the event so nobody starts alone.
What is covered: food, drinks, a place to sleep, mattresses and showers. There is a separate quiet area for women. Bring a laptop and your own sleeping bag.
Teams are up to four people. CHF 5,000 in prizes. Free to enter. Open to anyone 16 or older, under 18 with a signed guardian consent form.
Applications are open now and close on 15 November. We read every one by hand.
